Biography: Brigadier-General Adley H. Gladden

.....

Brigadier-General Adley H. Gladden was born in South Carolina,
and was one of the most heroic men of that gallant State. In
every period of American history, when a call has been made to
battle for the liberties or honor of the country, South
Carolina's valiant sons have been among the foremost in the fray;
and during the long and bloody war between the sections of the
great republic the Carolinians were never deaf to the call of
duty or honor.

On every field where they fought they added new luster to their
gallant State; and no matter where they made their home they
never forgot that they were Carolinians, and South Carolina never
forgot to love and honor them. One who takes the pains to read
the records of the gallant leaders of the Southern armies will be
surprised to note how many of them received their best training
in the Mexican war.

Though West Point furnished some of the choicest spirits of that
war so memorable for the unbroken success of the American arms,
yet many other gallant officers were there who, in that romantic
struggle of small forces against tremendous odds, measured up in
brilliant achievements to their brethren of the regular service.

No regiment in all the American army that fought its way over all
obstacles from Vera Cruz to the halls of the Montezumas was more
famous than the Palmetto regiment of South Carolina. Gladden was
the major of that regiment, whose colonel and lieutenant-colonel
were killed, together with many of their brave men in the
storming of the Mexican works at the fierce battle of Churubusco.

In consequence of the bloody result of that day Major Gladden
became colonel of the Palmetto regiment and led it in the assault
upon the Belen Gate, where he also was severely wounded. When
the civil war came, Colonel Gladden, whose home was then in
Louisiana, made haste to serve the cause of his beloved South.

Going to Pensacola as colonel of the First Louisiana regiment, on
September 30, 1861, he was commissioned brigadier-general and
assigned to command of a brigade, including the First regiment,
of which D. W. Adams then became colonel. He was in command of
his brigade during the bombardment of the Confederate forts at
Pensacola harbor, and General Bragg expressed thanks for the able
support he rendered.

Subsequently Bragg, expressing a desire to form a brigade of
regiments which should set an example of discipline and official
excellence, said, "I should desire General Gladden to command
them." In January, 1862, Gladden was transferred to Mobile and
thence to Corinth, where he was in command of a brigade composed
of four Alabama regiments, the First Louisiana and Robertson's
battery.

At Shiloh this brave officer proved that he had lost none of the
fire of his youth. General Beauregard thus describes his death:
"In the same quarter of the field all of Withers' division,
including Gladden's brigade, reinforced by Breckenridge's whole
reserve, soon became engaged, and Prentiss' entire line, though
fighting stoutly, was pressed back in confusion. We early lost
the services of the gallant Gladden, a man of soldierly aptitudes
and experience, who, after a marked influence upon the issue in
his quarter of the field, fell mortally wounded." Struck down by
a cannon-ball, he was carried from the field and soon afterward
he died.
